Mary at the Foot of the Cross

Posted on April 19th , 2016

“One of the hardest things to wrap our heads around as Christians is the nature of Jesus – fully human, yet fully divine. Like the Virgin Mary we often ponder: How can this be? Not that we doubt it’s possible, because God is God and we know that nothing is impossible for Him.1But our explanations somehow fall short, as if we lack the capacity, or the language, to fully describe this mystery of our faith.Mary, did you know?

Yet we also wonder about the Blessed Virgin Mary… At what point did she come to know that her Son was God and realize the implications of the angel’s words? How could this young woman – a mere girl, really – comprehend what was happening, the wondrous plan that God had in mind for her life? Scripture only tells us that she “kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.”“
